masonguy21 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Most would probably agree that long lines suck, so my question is what do you do to pass the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk141 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 when i was a teen, and we were in the park on crowded days, we would talk to ourselves for a few minutes, and then scream out a "hey (insert popular name)" and see who turned around. Haha if they were close enough, we would start a conversation and see if we could get them to say they "remembered us". it was alwyas fun, but after two or three times in a 2 hour line, people started to catch on to what you were doing an eventually started ignoring you. met some pretty interesting people though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 If alone, I read my park map over and over again - and think about other things. When with others, I chat with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jondrewfoo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 once, with friends, we played slaps while in line for millenium force. when with others, ill chat with them. When im by myself however, sometimes ill just stand there and think, other times when im really bored ill pull out the cellphone, turn on bluetooth, and find random people with bluetooth on and send them stupid pictures of things like laundry detergent and cool whip. its kinda funny expecially because they are almost always visible, and actually accept the transfer.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I look at the women in line and rate them in order of most attractive...... Yes, I'm a male pig......LOL!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I look at the women in line and rate them in order of most attractive...... Yes, I'm a male pig......LOL!!!! That's okay. I've often heard teen girls do the same thing to men...rating them from hottie to yuck. Wonder how'd you do? I'm sure it matters much less now than back in the days when you were a teen male! (Being of a certain age, they consider me both harmless and invisible, which has its advantages...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have no idea how I would do with the younger crowd, but I have had two or three women closer to my age ask if I was married, so I guess I'm not TOO far gone yet. I'm also mostly invisible to the youngsters, but I'm apparemtly safe enough looking to be asked things like the time, where something in the park is located, what certain rides are like, etc. Unfortunately, they all call me "sir."

trint2004 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I normally stand around and look at the park and thank about about what it would be like to design an attraction, or me and my friends play a game where we say "you know what I hate....." then say what is annoying us in line. Or we play swat the invisible bee. Its funny when others around us start to swat too, when there isn't anything there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketingExpress Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm a big fan of people watching and seeing the stupid things that they do or say while in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I like to people watch and listen to them, like the two boys behind me in line at Monster yesterday who just couldn't believe that they only loaded 2 arms at a time. Plus, as a few others have said on here, checking out the females is not a bad way to pass the time either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Usually when I'm by myself, I just listen to my Ipod Touch but if I'm with my friends I make fun of the like 21 year old rednecks that are all over each other in line. Its rather funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I like to to people watch also. I also like it when there is a good set of tunes to listen to. ( Love to listen to the techno music in MF queue. I get a big kick out of seeing grown men dance to it.) Also, I will often keep time as to exactly how long the wait is. I often find that what many people state to be the wait time is highly exaggerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rather funny Speaking of red-necks, last time i went to KI i was in the queue hangar for FoF and a family of rednecks were all eating an orange. I guess it had seeds in it cause they kept spitting stuff into the trash can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hmmm. Back when I was in college, there was a practice. Let's put it this way....perhaps they were actually drinking that orange. Which shouldn't have been allowed in the park anyway, according to park policy...and perhaps that is one reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I came from, the locals used to spend the day out in the cowfields and come into the family restaurant with crap on their boots....yuk!!!

It's pretty easy to step in it if you aren't looking, plus is shows a general disrespect for the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartzilla Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I usually sit on the rails and smoke. Then yell out obscenities when the lines are too long. But to be serious, I want to check out girls but i always go with mine. so id say i spend my time in line trying to find things to distract her while i get a peek at some other girls.
